The museum in Reichardtswerben houses this magnificent diarama of the cavalry battle (crafted 1935). This excellent museum also houses many original artefacts, including surviving portions from two original monuments erected to the battle but destroyed by various regimes - first a vengeful Napoleon (having crushed Prussia at Jena-Auerstädt in 1806), and then the unforgiving Russian occupiers last century. Best of all is a genuine letter from Frederick to his favourite sister Wilhelmina, informing her of the battle.
